P5/4C Titanic Home-School Challenge
As part of the Titanic IDL, P5/4C were challenged to create a 3D model of a 1st, 2nd or 3rd class cabin from the ill-fated ship. Many pupils rose to the challenge with great enthusiasm and have shown some fantastic creativity and inventiveness in their designs.
Thank you to everyone (and their little helpers at home!) who took up the challenge – your cabins look amazing!
Book Week P5/4C
Primary 5/4C took part in the BBC Authors Live event today in celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. Author James Robertson was the person responsible for translating this well-loved book into Scots language, and we enjoyed hearing him read the story and listening out for familiar Scots words. Afterwards, we labelled a picture of The Gruffalo and drew our own wee moose, labelling them in Scots. We all enjoyed sharing our favourite Scots words; among the most popular in P5/4 were MINGIN, WHEESHT and , of course, BAHOOKIE!
Book Week P5/4C and P2M
Primary 5/4C spent time on Tuesday afternoon interviewing their reading buddies. They found out about their buddy’s favourite things to eat, favourite games and, most importantly, their favourite books!
P 5/4C Book Week
A great start to Book Week Scotland; creating blurbs, designing book covers and having out first P7 Secret Reader session after break today.
P5/4C Odd Socks Day
P5/4C all turned out in their odd socks today to support the Anti-Bullying Alliance; they also created their own pairs of mismatched socks. A big thank you to you all for your generous donations to this very worthwhile cause.
Primary 5/4C Homework
A fantastic piece of homework came in today all about Resilience. This P4 pupil combined literacy skills with our Health & Wellbeing Resilience outcome, using features of a comic strip to describe how this person in his life had inspired him with their resilience in the face of adversity. Great work!
P2 and P5/4 Reading Buddies
Miss Marra’s class met up with their P5 and P4 reading buddies for the first time on Friday. The children were very excited to meet their new buddies and are all looking forward to getting together regularly throughout the rest of the session. We had a lovely, quiet, focused reading session on Friday morning – well done, everyone!
P5/4 C Achievement
Not one, not two, but THREE medals for Judo – 2 Gold, 1 Bronze, very well done, a great achievement.
Maths Week Scotland in P5/4C – Minds Blown!
P5/4C have been talking about the ‘magic’ of numbers this week.
Ask your child about one of the ‘tricks’ of the 9 times table (there are a few!) and try out these two fantastic number problems from the NRICH maths website – they work every time, but can you work out WHY?
